Most NASCAR teams bringing Bristol Chassis to Dover

This trend started last season after it determined on the first run of Bristol with the new surface that the multi-grooves required a car set up similar to Dover.

The drivers and teams that picked up well on it did well in all 4 races of Bristol and Dover in 2008.One driver, Matt Kenseth had top 10 finishes in all 4 races.

Six other drivers had top 10 finishes in 3 of the 4 races.One of those not in those 6 drivers wasKyle Busch who took his all or nothing approach to new heights. He won at Dover in this race last season and then finished dead last in the next one. Fastforward to 2009 where Kyle won at Bristol.

So a reference to the 2009 Bristol race could serve well in determining who should be good this Sunday.
